Message from the President

Kenneth Tew

Welcome to the web page of the Association of Medical School Pharmacology Chairs (AMSPC). The website provides much of the basic information needed to appreciate the role of our society in structuring education and research enterprises for the over one hundred departments in North America. We are in the process of continuing to build this site and in the coming months we will attempt to incorporate as much useful information for our members as possible.

The Association of Medical Pharmacology Chairs is an organization composed of current and emeritus Chairs of medical school pharmacology departments in the United States and Canada and Associate Members from other countries. The organization strives to promote pharmacology as a discipline and our overall focus includes: medical and graduate student education; scientific research; research funding; interface with industry; faculty development. Each year the membership holds an annual winter meeting in January or February to update members on important developments in these areas and allow members to interact in an informal atmosphere that promotes idea exchange, cooperation and formation of new friendships and collaborations. The side-bars on this page provide some information on these meetings. AMSPC also maintains and regularly updates the Knowledge Objectives in Medical Pharmacology that provides information on the essential elements of pharmacology that should be taught to medical students. In addition, AMSPC maintains a close relationship with FASEB through the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
So explore our website and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me (tewk@musc.edu) or any of our officers.
 - Kenneth D. Tew
